Wicken Bonhunt Gutter Sealing
Gutter and fascia joints in Wicken Bonhunt need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Dripping gutter ends
Gutter sealing in Wicken Bonhunt, done properly
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. We work on roofline trims, garage door frames and gutter joints, and the jobs we see most are streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and open joints in fascias and soffits.
Around Wicken Bonhunt, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What we seal
- Gutter joints
- Roofline trims
- Soffit joints
- Gutter end caps
- Garage door frames
- uPVC fascias
Surface by surface
Roofline trims
We reseal trim joints with an exterior sealant.
Garage door frames
Garage door frames let rain in when their sealant fails. We cut it out and reseal.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.
Gutter sealing in Wicken Bonhunt: local notes
Historic houses like Audley End House (about 3.7 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Wicken Bonhunt has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near Newport (Essex) station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you look after a building such as Joyce Frankland Academy, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Wicken Bonhunt, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter is not broken or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we are there.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Is Wicken Bonhunt within the area you cover?

What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
No. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart, so the brackets need fixing first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
No, we reseal joints, end caps and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
Why act early in Wicken Bonhunt
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. Where the gutter is in good order and only a joint leaks, resealing is the sensible fix. If it has failed, we’ll tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wicken Bonhunt, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why book with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
